Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for 2nd test of the Zimbabwe vs New Zealand test series 2025 between ZIM vs NZ to be played in Bulawayo.

New Zealand blew Zimbabwe away in the first test to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match test series. Now, they will be looking to wrap up the series and register a clean sweep.

The second test will be played at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo from August 7. Tom Latham might miss this test as well, and Mitchell Santner will continue to lead the team.

New Zealand have been rocked by quite a few injuries in their camp. William O’Rourke and Nathan Smith have been ruled out of the second test. But, they have some really good backup players, and they will be favourites to win this game.
